Open Beam Storage
I love this idea of storing fabrics (or quilts in covers?) up in the open beams. In fact, I love the whole look of this tiny office/deign space.

Yeah...I was thinking that too. I wonder if you could find some sort of antiquey thing to hang. I was thinking of those laundry drying racks, or even something completely different that was decorative and could be repurposed.

Very pretty home. I am not so sure about the storage in the beams only because of sun light. I keep my fabrics in a dark cabinet to avoid sun damage. Looks like a good Idea if you are using fabrics quickly and not storing them for a very long period of time.

I'm also thinking about using a vintage, Pullman train rack/shelf above a window to hold fabrics. Again, I would cover them to prevent fading. An in expensive drop cloth from Harbor Freight would make a suitable fabric for a few covers.
